ing speaker 1t is expected that there

nifty to hear first-class lecture for a
small sum.

CURRENT OPINION.
WESTERN BOOMING.

Vermont farmers will do well to read
with many grains of allowance the letters
from the West that occasionally find their
way into the papers of this State giving
expression to unqualified admiration for
that country and phenomenal success in
it. When these letters appear over sigma
lures that are known to the reader he can
easily discriminate between the truth
and falsehood, between errors in iudg-
ment and sound common sense. When
the signature that of a stranger. hoWeV-
er, it is hest to give a large majority of
the letters from the West, that speak in
such eXtravagant terms of the Opportuni-
ties offered the farmer in that land, very
wIue berth. Careful investigation will
generally reveal the facts that the letters
are published through the solicitations of
Western land or railroad agents and that
sometimes they are inserted ''for con-
sideration.- 81. Johnsbury Caledonian.
WISE COURSE.
The town of St. JOhnsbury, VI, is one
of several in New England now engaged
in that familiar old task of trying to in
duce certain manufacturers to locate
there, but it is making use of IA little
more sense than is customarily employed
in such efforts to boom a locality. In
stead of blindly subscribing for $50, 900
worth of stock required to remove the
Rutland shirt factory to st. Johnsbury
without asking any questions, the citi-
zens of the town have thought to ascer-
tain the actual value of the stock and the
prospects of the industry. If it is not
worth S20, 900 and never is likely to be,
then St. Johnsbury does not want the
factory at that price. No community
ever gained anything yet by taxing them
selves to possess losing venture,
whether railroad, factory or IA lumber

CITY JOURNALISM.

Country newspapers are sometimes ac-
cused of using strong language concern
ing one another when engaged IN contro-
versies, but in mud-slinging they never
equal those of New FORK city. The great
journalistic war now raging in the me-
tropolis between the Sun and World
promises to become historical. The other
day dray loaded with unsold Worlds
broke down in Printing House Square
while on its way from the World office
to the junk shop. This accident the Sun
has made the most of, alleging among
other things that the Worlds large cir
culation is chiefly in the paper mills.
The World retorts by pitching into the
Suns editor in this wise:
Never since the days of the original
Ananias has knave been found who was
at the same time such fool as Charlatan
Ananias Dana shows himself to be in ev-
cry issue of his sem-bankrupt newspa-
per. His rage, humiliation, disgrace and
despair are revealed in every column
With all his brutal maliciousness and
cowardly malignity, he ought to have
sense enough to hide the sorrow of pitia-
BILE failure which has oyertaken him in
the impotency of his old age. He should
rub his sores in private.

A LIVELY FIGHT.

The political storm center of the coun-
try is New York city, where the Repub-
licans have nominated District Attorney
MARITIME for judge and his assistant, Mr..
Nicoll, for district attorney Mr.. Mar
tine has both the Democratic and Repub-
lican nominations and Mr.. Nicoll is OPP
posed by his associate, Col. Fellows,
whom the Democrats have nominated.
1t is charged that the Doodle crowd are
on the side of Fellows, who, it appears,
fought in the Confederate army Though
he is native of Troy, his home was in
Arkansas at the outbreaking of the re-
bellion. Mr.. Nicoll, in his letter accept
ing one of the nominations, certainly
lays down good platform, saying:
And if by the suffrages of the people !
shall be chosen district attorney, shall
endeavor to administer the penal laws OF
the State in this county with oppression
to none and with justice to all. Ami
mated by that purpose and spirit, the
rules of my official life shall be-
First-The resOlute prosecution of all
offenders against law.
Second-No quarter to public thieves.
Third-No submission to the dictation
of Doodle bosses.
Fourth-No distinction of persons in
courts of justice, but the same law for
rich and poor.

ANOTHER RELIC.

Jeff Davis cannot longer claim the mo-
nopolv as sole relic and representative of
the .slost cause" A rival has appeared
in the person of Gen. Henry r. jackson,
late minister to Mexico. He said in a
speech at Macon, Ga, recently:
In that triumphal procession Abraham
Lincoln shall not move as the rightful
President. but jefferson Davis, the So
called traitor, leader of so-called lost
cause
He was trying to picture the typical
American in these words, he has since
explained, and the expression quoted
was, he says, but a strong statement OF
his belief that local self-government is
the basis of our institutions. No wonder
that even the Democratic Cleveland
Plain Dealer is moved to characterize
Jackson as "a rampant rebel, Georgia
dotard and drunken brigadier.'
But Jackson and his speech are but the
legitimate fruits of " the blue and the
gray nonsense, which tends to confu-
sion about the facts of the war. and es-
pecially to bring about forgetfulness OF
the main fact involved in the conflict
that the South were traitors.

AlL-HAllOW-EEN,

Some Cornwall farmers who have had
other educational visits of similar char
acter in past years are anxious to ascer-
tain the names of the college students
who were engaged in the recent mid
night raid on their turkey roosts and Or
chards. They don't object so much to the
students having a little quiet fun as they
do to the unearthly music which seems
to be considered by the student of today
as necessary adjunct to the enjoyment
of such occasions. In the good old days
when "elective" and "optional' studies
were unknown, such visits never oc-
Cured or else the gray-haired alumni of
to-day have forgotten all about them.

AGAINST THE ANARCHISTS.

The supreme court has denied the writ
of error in the anarchist cases. The de-
cision was against all the prisoners. The
decision was announced Wednesday af-
ternoon by Chief Justice Waite in long
and carefully prepared opinion which oc-
cupied 30 minutes in the reading.
\ Chicago dispatch says: The con-
demned anarchists were all in their cells
when the Supreme court decision was re-
ceived. Spies read note sent by a re-
porter announcing the result, and re-
marked: 81 have nothing to say" None
of the other men would say anything.
All is quiet around the Jail. The denial
of the writ was universally expected.
Preparations are making for the eXecu-
ton. The ropes have been ordered from
an Eastern firm, and an additional scat
fold will be built. There are two scat
folds in the basement of the criminal
court, but they will not accommodate
over five. The new ones will be like the
one on which the three Italian murderers
were hanged some time ago, with slight
improvement in the traps.
Already the morbidly curious of Chi
cago and outside points are sending re-
quests for tickets. Letters by the score
are arriving daily from provincial jour-
nalists who desire to secure a ticket. All
will be disappointed. If the hanging
takes place on the eleventh there
will be only few present. The sheriff
will adhere strictly to the law, and no
one except representatives of the city
papers, press associations, members OF
the jury and attorneys will be allowed.
Within ID minutes after the receipt OF
the decision eight or ten officers in citi
zen's clothes appeared at the Jail. Visit
itors will be rigidly barred. There is q
push of people to the jail to see the prs
oners and friends bearing baskets of del
icacies for the doomed men beg vainly
for admission. The baskets are passed
in but only the relatives gain entrance
Every effort is being made to guarC
against suicide.
The moment the decision reached po
lice headquarters all the detectives in th'
building suddenly disappeared, all unde
sealed instructions. "We won't b,
caught mapping" was all the official
would say.

Even in Philadelphia the coal yards are
depleted and the supply of anthracite is
likely to fall short of the demand in all
parts of the country before spring.
The house of bishops of the Protest
ant Episcopal church at its late annual
meeting constituted Alaska missionary
jurisdiction, but postponed the election
of bishop over it until next year.
A bigamist Il years of age was arrest
ed the other day at Saratoga, pleaded
guilty when arraigned and was sent to
Danemora for two years. He has five
wives living in various parts of York

President Cleveland is suspected of II
desire to make himself solid with the la
Dor people. At any rate it Is reported
that he will put Powderly at the head of
the bureau of labor if he succeeds in get
ting Congress to establish such an insti-
tuition.
The names of people who can't sue
cessfully manage a coal stove are begin
ming to put in their annual appearance in
the obituary columns of the papers. Two
women died from the effects of inhaling
gas from the stove in their room at North

1t is believed that the election of Col.

cety means that the next State fair is to
be held in Mr. IIooker's town. Howev-
er that may be, the society has an eff

has renewed the talk about a postal tele.
graph, of which good deal was said'two
years ago. 1t is also announced that an
effort will be made at the coming session
of Congress to pass law regulating in
terstate telegraph rates.
Adiutant General Z. S. Peck of Bur.
lington wants card-size photographs OF
all Vermont officers who fought in the
war of the Rebellion, to put into the
frames in the corridors at the State
house. Adjutant General Washburne
tried to collect them, but many of the
spaces in the frames are still vacant.
Col. Geo. w. Hooker in published in
terview expresses the opinion that Sen
ator Allison of Iowa can poll more vote,
for the Presidency than any other Re
publican, though he regards Mr.. Blaine;
chances of denomination as good. lie
also said he shouldn't, for personal rea
sons, be a candidate for Congress in tha
district next year.
The New York Tribune says the Dem
ocrats of that State are spending NJ
money on speeches or in any other way
but that they are collecting lots of it
which sis to be used on election dav fo
what it can be used for. The expectation
is that labor leaders can be tempted. tina
Irving hall can be bought off, that poo
men everywhere can be tempted anC
bribed." If these charges are true, thing
have certainly come to pretty pass il

INJUSTICE TO MlDDLEBURY COLLEGE.

Great injustice has been done Middle

the rounds of college periodicals credited
to the Princetonian of Princeton col
lege, New Jersey, stating that our col
class. The facts are that the pres
ent reshman class numbers twenty
members, representing the New England,
middle and Western States, and the
Freshman class entered in 1856 numbered
twenty-three. The college is in more
flourishing condition than ever before
since the war of the rebellion, when its
classes were depleted to fill the ranks of
the Union army.
